I worked at a nursing home as a cook, I guess it was a nice one? We had a nutritionist and made like cafeteria food, then chopped half of it up for the people who had problems, then puréed it for the ones who couldn’t feed themselves.
Profit has become a tyrant. We used to make people happy in its name, now we shape everything in its service.
Profit has become a tyrant
Unfortunately, I disagree. I think it’s become hero. It shouldn’t but it is.
Much more than mildly infuriating.
A 3k a month what?
Nursing home I imagine by the price?
I wish I noticed that before someone embarrassed me in the comments 😪
Edit and it never happened 😉
What never happened? I didn’t see anything. 🙂
I worked for years in a nursing home and I can tell you that it is total bullshit. Everything is the lowest quality at the highest markup. Let me assure you that the staffing at 99% of these places is so low that the residents are waiting 20-30 min to use the restroom and basically live trapped in a bed with little to no assistance.
That’s not food. That’s sadness in polystyrene.
Urgh. Disgusting how terribly humans treat other humans.
Looks about right. I worked in a retirement home for 4 years. 2 in the kitchen and 2 doing maintenance. These residents were paying upwards of $10k a month and the food was fucking awful 90% of the time. Not only is the food super shitty but they dont even get all their meals included in their monthly rent so if they wanted 3 meals a day (Breakfast, lunch, dinner) then you had to choose which meal you wanted to pay for out of pocket. These retirement/nursing homes are predatory as hell. I know its not possible for everyone but if you love your parents, do them a favor and keep them out of these homes.
Does anyone recognize what that beige slop is in the lower compartment?
We kept our mom out of a nursing home specifically for the food and staffing and overpriced everything reasons. When we looked them all over, even the $5000 a month place had residents calling out for help endlessly, with just two nurses aides working over 100 residents. So sad. Profit over care, from insurance to nursing home.
WTF is that blue thing? Please tell me that’s not a broccoli floret
Looks like a purple cauliflower floret.
Dang, where is there a nursing home for 3k a month? My dad had to go into a nursing home here in Colorado, and had to private pay out of his savings until it was exhausted and the Medicaid kicked in. Private pay at the cheapest place in town was 7.2k a month minimum, and the food was about like that. They shut that facility down a few years ago, and he got moved to a much nicer one that still took medicaid. Food is orders of magnitude better there. Not all places ate like that, but they are all very expensive for private pay.
I don’t even wanna know what that blue thing in the left hand corner is. Yuck.
Looks like purple broccoli.
Done right it’s lovely.
This is not done right.
Purple broccoli? I didn’t even know that was a thing! It looks like… I don’t know what it looks like, but I wouldn’t have the balls to eat it.
People leaving USA for cheaper healthcare. Maybe we need to leave for better long term care.
Is there even any point in getting old. I hope I don’t make it that long.
My ex (we broke up a year ago and don’t talk) worked as a nurse in an expensive nursing home. Some of the stories she’s told me about how they treat staff and even patients are shocking.
